abstract = {Current research shows that individuals with intellectual disabilities do not engage in
enough physical activity to acquire health benefits. However, cooperative learning has been shown
to be an effective tool for inclusion and for improving healthy physical habits. The aim of this study
is to contrast an explanatory model which incorporates quality of life, active time in cooperative
activities, body mass index and age, as well as to analyze, using multi-group structural equations, the
existing associations according to the sex of subjects with intellectual disabilities. The convenience
sampling used allowed the collection of data from a total of 156 subjects in Granada (Spain), aged
between 18–55 years. In terms of gender, the sample was homogeneous, representing 52.6% (n = 82)
for women and 47.4% (n = 74) for men. The active time during the cooperative learning was recorded
with the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 activity band, for the quality of life scale (GENCAT) was used, and the
body mass index was calculated through its standardized equation. Age was directly associated with
body mass index in both sexes. Likewise, age was positively related to the active time of women.
Quality of life was directly associated with active time and body mass index was inversely related to
active time. This study shows the importance of active time during work and cooperative learning in
individuals with intellectual disabilities, as it is associated with an improvement in the quality of life
and a reduction in the problems of sedentarism, overweight, and obesity.},
